Shaklee Saturday--Basic H2 Can do WHAT???

However, I recently had an experience that showed me what an amazing combination of POWER and GENTLENESS this cleaner is.

I've been staining our newest project--a headboard.

Well, like a good girl, I wore rubber gloves to stain. What I didn't count on was that one of the gloves would break, and that my lovely poly AND stain mixture would get all over my cute new Shellac manicure!

I ran into the house to start washing my hands, but the stain just glommed on to my nails and fingers and resisted any sort of washing efforts. I did have paint thinner in my paint cabinet, which I knew would probably work, but I hated the thought of rubbing that noxious stuff on my hands. The fumes alone give me an awful headache. This is why I was wearing gloves in the first place!

Then, I remembered that I had my H2 under the sink. Thinking I had nothing to lose, I put a tiny drop of straight H2 onto a small paper towel and rubbed at my nails. Not only did the poly/stain mixture come right off, but the finish on my manicure stayed intact and my skin wasn't irritated in the slightest. Not to mention, no fumes or smell whatsoever. I was floored!

I regret that I didn't have the foresight to get my camera out before trying my little experiment, so that I might have a stunning before and after for you. I hope you'll take my word for it. This is truly amazing stuff.
